The LAN 787 is equipped with 217 seats in economy and 30 seats in premium business, and will operate daily nonstop flights between Miami and Santiago, Chile.

LAN is the first airline to offer 787 flights from Miami. Late last year, low-cost carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle inaugurated 787 Dreamliner service at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with nonstop flights to three Scandinavian countries.

"The Dreamliner is the latest customer service enhancement that LAN has brought to MIA, and we are proud to have them as one of our busiest airlines to our top markets in South America," said Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio T. Gonzalez, in a statement.
